Description

One of our favorite side dishes!

Ingredients

  • 1 whole Head Garlic
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil, Plus More To Drizzle On Garlic For Roasting
  • 2 cups Uncooked Quinoa
  • ½ cups Chopped Red Pepper
  • ½ cups Chopped Mushrooms
  • Salt And Pepper, to taste

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Chop the top off the garlic and peel away the loose outside paper. Drizzle some olive oil on the cloves, wrap in foil, and roast for 20-30 minutes, or until golden. Let cool.

Cook quinoa according to directions on package. While quinoa is cooking, heat a skillet on medium heat and add olive oil. Add red pepper and mushrooms and saute until soft, about 6-8 minutes. When quinoa is done, fluff with a fork and add peppers and mushrooms. Squeeze the entire head of garlic cloves into the quinoa, mashing some with a fork and leaving others whole. Season with salt and pepper and mix well.

I thought this was a really good, solid dish. I didn’t absolutely love the sweetness from the roasted garlic, so I think I may switch that up next time, but it was still really delicious. Thanks for sharing!
